Hypocrites meet at my house for popsicles

I'm disappointed. I'm sitting at home watching the polls the return. Some people have Super Bowl parties, I prefer elections. Man, 4 years ago.... such memories, especially concerning a certain Icelandic expert and a fifth of gin. Hoo boy. This time around I'm not having so much fun. Why? Because for the first time in my life I have abstained from voting.
That's right. I did not vote today. I just can't choose between Obama or Clinton. Can't do it. I had some great information from several people on both sides and it still didn't help. They are the same, but different. And, even more pathetic, because I've spent so much time obsessed over the presidential primary I neglected to read anything on the initiatives.
I feel like my abstention is an accurate reflection of my position and therefore is more of a vote than if I had gone in and just picked some one. Even though I feel like this is the most integrity filled decision I can make at this time, I am still outing myself as a tremendous hypocrite.
